MARVELLOUS STORY.
Kissane's criminal career for
thirty years is the most marvellous
story in the annals of crime. He
was leacued with baud that for
years piled the business of swind
ing insurance companies. Rotten,
worn out vessels were bought aud
freighted with fictitious costly
cargoes, insured for large amounts
and destroyed The burning of the

many exploits of the kind, and at

Another practice of the gang.
whose rami6cations extended
through several States, was to
forge notes against very old rich
men and stow them away where
they would assume the appearance
of age. When the parties whose

notes were brought forth against
the estates. Membe of the gang

THE CRIMINALS BROTHERS
So far as Henry Kissane Is con

his real name is Kissane.

higamous marriage, nor the story of
the allie ged ASSASSINATION of farm
er in Missouri. In his tracing up
of Kissane he could find no time or
place when such a murder could
have been committed. There were
other equally suspicious, and tragic
incidents, however, that could be
well authenticated. For the pres

correspondent to view Burtons
book, other than to merely look at

GENERAL DARRS REPUTATION.
General Darr is a gentleman of
fine appearance and elegant man

TRYING TO SHIELD THE KISsANES.
